1990 Map of Honeymoon Lake

About this map

Honeymoon Lake and the surrounding high-country drainages of the Boise National Forest define this 1990 provisional survey of the Idaho backcountry. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness, where a network of trails and unimproved roads connects prominent landforms like Dome and Artillery Ridge. The map details a complex hydrological system characterized by celestial and military-themed naming conventions, including Moon Creek, Half Moon Creek, and Silver Moon Creek, alongside Pistol Creek and Artillery Creek. Notable terrain features such as Elk Meadow and the confluence of the North Fork Sulphur Creek illustrate the untouched character of this Valley County region at the end of the 20th century, before more modern environmental shifts altered these remote alpine environments.
